Ok, here's the dilemma.
I decided to brew up an all grain Kolsch. The recipe calls for a total of 11 pounds of grain and malt. So far so good.
But when I got the bag of grain/malt mix home from the brew store, it occurred to me that there is no way I'm going to get all that stuff into my 5 gallon kettle, along with 5 gallons of water.
So the plan is to split the recipe in two, to accommodate my now strangely effeminate looking kettle.
Question is, would there be any harm in pouring hot wort into the wort that had cooled in the carboy during the time it took to make batch number two?
Seems to me like it wouldn't be a problem, but then if I knew what I was doing, I wouldn't be asking. Thanks.
